Lookit is committed to supporting the privacy of individuals who enroll on our Platform to conduct research or serve as research subjects. This Privacy Statement explains how we handle and use the personal information we collect about our researchers and research participant community.
Lookit is a platform that many different researchers use to conduct studies about how children learn and develop. It is run by the MIT Early Childhood Cognition Lab, which has access to all of the data collected on Lookit. Researchers using Lookit to conduct studies only access your personal information if you choose to participate in their study.
Recopilamos los siguientes tipos de información personal:
The information we collect and maintain about you is the information you provide to us when registering for a Lookit account, registering your children, updating your account or your children’s profiles, completing or updating surveys, or participating in individual Lookit studies.
Cuando participas en un estudio de Lookit, compartimos la siguiente información con el grupo de investigación que realiza el estudio:
Tu dirección de correo electrónico no se comparte directamente con el grupo de investigación, aunque pueden contactar contigo a través de Lookit, de acuerdo con tus preferencias de contacto.
Researchers may publish the results of a study, including individual responses. However, although they may publish the ages of participants, they may not publish participant birthdates (or information that could be used to calculate birthdates).
We and/or the researchers responsible for a study may share video of your family’s participation for scientific, educational, and/or publicity purposes, but only if you choose at the conclusion of a study to allow such usage. Researchers may also share your video and other data with Databrary if you choose at the conclusion of a study to allow that. We don’t publish video of participants such that it can be linked to individual demographic data (e.g., household income or number of parents/guardians), and researchers must also agree not to do so in order to use Lookit.
We don’t share, sell, publish, or otherwise disclose your contact information (email and/or mailing address) to anyone but the researchers involved in a study. Researchers must also agree not to disclose your contact information in order to use Lookit.
Podemos utilizar tu información personal (cuenta, niños, datos demográficos y de estudio) para una variedad de propósitos, que incluyen:
Researchers use the data collected in their studies to address particular scientific questions. It may also turn out that data collected for one study can help to answer a related question later on. If researchers are using any additional information about you in their study, beyond what is collected on Lookit – for instance, if you are participating in a follow-up online session for an in-person study – they must tell you that in the study consent form.
Existen algunas reglas básicas sobre cómo se puede usar la información personal que todos los/as investigadores/as de Lookit aceptan, que incluyen:
If you have concerns about any of these purposes, or how we communicate with you, please contact us at dataprotection@mit.edu. We will always respect a request by you to stop processing your personal information (subject to our legal obligations).
We have implemented industry-standard security safeguards designed to protect the personal information that you may provide. We also periodically monitor our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, consistent with industry standards. Only authenticated users with specific permissions may access the data. All data is transmitted via a secure https connection, and all video data is encrypted at rest on the storage systems used by Lookit to provide data to researchers. Researchers are responsible for their own secure storage of data once they obtain it from Lookit. You should be aware, however, that since the internet is not a 100% secure environment, there’s no guarantee that information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. It's your responsibility to protect the security of your account details, including your username and password.
We consider our relationship with our research community to be lifelong. This means that we will maintain a record for you until such time as you tell us that you no longer wish us to keep in touch. If you wish to remove your account, we will retain a core set of information about you to fulfill administrative tasks and legal obligations. If you have participated in Lookit studies, the personal information already shared with those researchers may not generally be ‘taken back,’ as it is part of a scientific dataset and removing your data could affect already published findings.
We may collect basic biographic/contact information about you and your representative organization, including name, title, business addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.
The information we collect and maintain about you is that which you have provided to us when registering to use Lookit, updating your profile, or creating or editing a study.
